You ever wonder how non creationists explain male and female? Okay let's agree that it's an idea. Alright then who's idea? In raw evloution there cannot be an idea or a plan, because that would denote a personage , so that can only be used in creationism.
Evolution has no ideas. So what then is...

I could not help but notice how some here at this site, seem to hold a fear of it being thought of as a religious site.

I ran across a piece that was thoughtful;

Well I think one thing we would have to do is know our problems, even list them; and then go to work on that list. In example:
1. Selfishness
2 .lying
3. violence
4. creating false images
5. spreading confusion
6. misleading others
7. perverted lust for things

Are all believers in God automatically idol worshipers?
All believers in God are following an entity that they only know by what other people have said about that God. Few, if any, know their God from apotheosis or first-hand information.
That fact makes whoever that God is, an idol.
It...

There are literally thousands of religions and religious views and interpretations about God and the bible , or other gods and other holy books. I have investigated just about them all. So , not being a member of any of them, I have chosen to walk alone in my views and beliefs. There is not a lot...

I have been driving cars for some time in my life, and generally avoided the vehicles that you have to shift the gears yourself. Prefering rather those that automatically shift the gears for you, the traditional way of driving. I used to use this very same approach towards the bible, allowing...

We live in an age of " Prove this, and Prove that", and thats understandable. Even the bible advises to " Prove all things", but can we actually prove that the bible is relevant history?

I forget that you are a literalist. Sorry. So, OK, I did say that. I merely meant to say that the...

I have not posted in this section for awhile, and I kind of don't want to see it wasted away. Its like seeing a house you used to live in, just rotting away. I hope its okay with the members if I try and shoot a little life into it, and then be on my way again. I have been playing the arcade games...

This is incontrovertible proof that God is evil. God does not live by his own golden rule.
God kills when he could just as easily cure. This is irrefutable.
This is a clear violation of the golden rule. The golden rule as articulated by Jesus.
God then is clearly evil.
Do you agree...

"She has taught me to value and understand human beings. Many other religions don't teach that," said Profesora Cielo. "They teach you to discriminate and devalue people. Most teach you that if you are gay, we just pretend you don't exist or we reject you. That if you are a prostitute, you are...
